Crew 182 Operations Report 17Nov2017
SOL: 14
Name of person filing report: Carmen Atauconcha
Watching the beautiful hills on Mars, I truly could say that it has become my home. Mars with its mysterious shadows and shining soils has conquered my hearth.
This is my final engineering report:
Non-nominal systems:
WATER HEATER: The new water heater is not installed, yet. So, good luck to the next crew¡
CHARGERS OF THE SUITS: Two of the chargers are working, but we moved them and now it is hard for us to connect them, again.
THE DOOR AIRLOCK’S WINDOW: This day was very windy. I think Mars does not want to leave us. The fact is, because of the force of the wind the window went out. Now, it is secure inside the Hab, next to the astronaut costumes.
COMMUNICATION RADIOS: Three radios are not working. The first one because it is broke. The other two are not transmitting signal.
Generator— It worked the whole night since 16:50pm of 16Nov2017 until 9:20 am of 17Nov2017. Turn on at 17:00 pm 17Nov2017. Operand.

Notes and Comments:
There are no words to express our experience on Mars. Each day has formed our relationship between each crew as a family. About Mars, what can I say? I am in love of it.
Summary of Hab Operations:
In the morning we covered the hole that is in the highest part of the roof. Thus, the wind moved the hollow coverage and it is open again. We will fix it tonight again. The toilet is starting to smell better than it was in our firs days on Mars.
The Hab is cleaned and organized. Be careful with the secondary airlock because it is wonky. The heater is working very well. The area of the tools is organized, please keep it like that.
Summary of GreenHab operations:
The tools and equipments in the greenhouse are organized and cleaned. Take care of the plants because they are growing. The greenhouse is like the lung of the station.
Summary of ScienceDome operations:
It is necessary to install a lamp there. The autoclave and the rest of equipments are working very nicely. Be careful while you use the autoclave, please read the instructions in of the manual that is in that laboratory. Without science we won’t be on Mars.
Summary of health and safety issues:
It is hard to bring the food from the first floor of the Hab to the second floor. This fact is because the stairs are very steep. Thanks for the new stairs. Health and safety are first.
This experience has ended and my report, too. How the water moves on Earth, the time flies on Mars. We only have the hope to understand how the universe works. You will be always in my heart Mars.
